Leno returned to 11:30pm time slot

NBC Shakeup -- Jay Leno Comes Out on Top [tmz.com]

Quote :
We've learned Jay's 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1. After the Olympics, Jay will take back his 11:30 PM time slot. What has not been decided -- whether Jay's show will be a half hour, followed by Conan, or whether Jay's show will be an hour and NBC says sayonara to Mr. O'Brien.

We're told Jay and Conan have both been told of the changes. As for Jay, interestingly, he'll get what he always wanted -- his 11:30 PM time slot.
No words on what will happen to Conan and Fallon... whether they both will get pushed back one hour of if one of them will be fired.

I prefer Leno at 11:30 than 10:00.

I saw the final episode. I'll comment more on it when I catch up to other posts in this thread, but I'll just say his exit speech was touching and he broke down in thanking his fans. Classy ... you will be missed, Mr. O'Brien!

However, I was surprised and disappointed he didn't mention Jay Leno's name in his last show. He could've simply said, "Jay, I pass the torch back to you. Good luck," or something to that effect.


Neil Young was good a couple decades ago. He's about twice the age of the avg. O'Brien viewer. Leno or Letterman would be more like his audience in terms of demographics.

You're welcome for the free lesson. Cool
...I was hoping he was going to take a shot at him (when he was talking about accomplishing anything....in reference to the quote he made before)...

I'm glad he didn't. O'Brien took the high road by not bad mouthing NBC in that exit speech. He didn't and shouldn't have come across sounding bitter.

I haven't seen it, but I expected his ending speech to be him sounding almost... okay with everything.

Think about it. He gets to move on. If he HAD stayed at NBC, he'd stay in Jay's shadow- and who knows, Jay could decide to stay longer than Conan. At least now, Conan is gone from that- and now Fallon (who is god awful) is in Jay's shadow- even possibly more than Conan, since NBC right now doesn't know their head from their ass, much less who could possibly take over their two late night show in the future.

I hope to see the final episode on hulu in the next couple days.

Here's [cnn.com] a transcript (kind of) of his exit speech. Definitely do check it out in a day or 2 on Hulu (which is where I've been watching some past episodes before recording the Thurs. and Fri. shows). The speech was from the heart and inspirational.

I'm sure it was a fake. Too bad the camera didn't zoom in on it. Well, maybe that's why - b/c it's a fake!
